UIENTUIDRTH MILITARY ACADEMY ESTABLISHED 18BD - LEXINGTON, MO.

HIGH SCHOOL AND JUNIOR COLLEGE

WENTWDHTHS PURPOSE It is the purpose of Wentworth Military Academy to provide the best conditions possible

for the all 'round development of worthy boys and young men.

To attain this high purpose, the Academy places greatest emphasis upon these four points:

First, it is the Academy's aim to assemble only the highest types of students—deserving

youths of good parentage—to assure wholesome associations and greater progress. Every pre

caution is taken to keep undesirable boys—all those that might prove detrimental to others—

out of the Academy.

Second, to employ only men of highest character and ability for its faculty. It is not enough

for a Wentworth faculty member to be merely scholarly and a splendid instructor. He must

also possess a spirit of friendliness and a sincere desire to give kindly help whenever necessary.

He must thoroughly understand the innermost problems of boys—be patient with them—and

be ready to serve each boy to the best of his ability.

Third, to provide the very best equipment throughout every department to the end that

every boy will have all those things necessary to his health and happiness and that none shall

want for anything that will help him to make progress.

Fourth, to provide a program for each day that will best serve the interests of every student.

Superintendent.

V/entworth 1912, University of Chicago, A. B. 1917, Phi Beta Kappa

1916; Sigma Xi ; Beta Theta Pi; Major U. S. Marine Reserve 1917-

1920; Distinguished Service Cross; Navy Cross; Silver Star; Purple

Heart; Croix-de-Guerre; Past President of Association of Military

Colleges and Schools of the United States; Officei in Grand Lodge

and Grand Commanderies of Missouri.

From the beginning the late President Sellers sur

rounded himself with the ablest faculty available —

strong men of proved qualities and Christian character.

Under his wise and forward-looking direction, Went-

worth has grown steadily. Each year has shown marked

improvement over the preceding year. Today Went-

worth stands as one of the truly great educational

institutions of our country—second to none in the op

portunities it offers boys and young men for thorough

preparation for professional studies, business and for

life.

S I N C E E I G H T E E N E I G H T Y One of the chief reasons why Wentworth has been able to achieve

its lofty purpose lies in the fact that the Academy has been under one

continuous administration since its founding. For nearly three-score years.

Colonel Sandford Sellers was president of Wentworth. hie enjoyed one

of the most enviable records in the history of American education.

The Academy was founded by Stephen G. Wentworth, scion of a

distinguished English family and a prominent Lexington banker, in 1880,

as a memorial to his deceased son, Wlfliam Wentworth. Mr. Wentworth

immediately vested control of the Institution in the hands of a board of

trustees composed of a duly elected representative of each of the

Evangelical churches of Lexington, and a president. Colonel Sellers was

called to the new school In Its first year and remained as its active head

until 1938. Mr. Wentworth served as president of the Board from 1880

until his death in 1897.

It was the firm conviction of the founder, his board of trustees and

President Sellers that a military boarding school provides the most effec

tive possible means for giving young men the thorough mental, moral

and physical training necessary to develop in them the highest traits of

manhood. Thus, Wentworth became the first military school in the Mis

souri River Valley.

AM H I S T O R I C B A C K G H D U N D

Throughout over half a century the Wentworth pur

pose has remained unchanged. The ideals which led

to the Academy's founding and which have carried

it steadily forward, shine just as brightly today as

ever: the desire to give each youth every oppor

tunity to develop fully his own individual personality;

the aim that every cadet shall acquire a keen sense of

duty and responsibility, both to himself and toward

others; that he shall have the mental and moral power

to make accurate judgments between right and

wrong and the physical power to stand by his con

victions.

These high standards have dominated Wentworth

for generations. But to maintain them and assure their

full and continuous application, it has been found

necessary to limit the enrollment. Wentworth today

is a relatively small school—many times larger than

in 1880, to be sure, yet small enough that every indi

vidual student is given the private attention so essen

tial to his all-'round development.

The surrounding country affords a wealth of his

torically important Civil War sites and the town of

Lexington itself retains much of the tradition of the

old south. hIere enthusiasm for the reminders of our

country's glorious past is combined with the enthu

siasm for modern adventure to promote the rapid de

velopment of the boy's mental, moral and physical

resources.

The modern, prosperous little city of Lexington is 41 miles from Kansas City, "The hleart of America." This proximity makes available by train, motor car, bus and air all the desirable cultural advantages of a large city without any of its disadvantages.

YESTERDAY Above is pictured the first company ever as

sembled at Wentworth. From this humble begin

ning, the Academy has marched forward over a

trail of development that has placed it in the

front rank of America's best military schools.

and TODAY The Wentworth Military Academy of today is vastly different from

the Wentworth of 1880. From year to year it has enlarged its facilities,

increased its enrollment and changed its physical appearance until there

is little to remind one of the early days. Numerous modern and attractive

buildings have been erected as they were needed. Old buildings have

been torn away when they were no longer useful. Spacious military and

athletic fields have been added. One of the finest gymnasiums in the

country has been built. Every new method in teaching that has been

found definitely superior to older methods has been adopted. Yet,

some of the fundamental principles that guided the first company are

adhered to just as strictly today.

" The indoor rifle range where every cadet learns small arms firing.

M I L I T A R Y D E P A R T M E I V T MILITARY training at Wentworth has always been a strong

feature, but it is never permitted to interfere with the

scholastic work of the Academy. It can be shown, moreover,

that military discipline has a decidedly advantageous effect upon

classroom work.

In recognition of the superior military work done at Went

worth, in 1889 the Academy became a post of the Missouri

National Guard. Graduates of the Academy who resided in Mis

souri, became eligible for commissions in this organization.

Wentworth has been under the direct supervision of the War

Department of the United States Government since 1895, when

the first active army officer was detailed to the Academy. This

officer, assisted by active non-commissioned officers of the army,

is in charge of all military work. In addition, the War Depart

ment furnishes around $50,000 worth of equipment to be used

for instruction purposes. Wentworth is one of the original Honor

Schools of the United States, the highest rating given by the War

Department. The Academy has been a unit of the Reserve Of

ficers' Training Corps from the time that organization was

established.

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Within Wentworth's Administration Building are handsomely fur

nished parlors, corridors and reception rooms. Among its furnish

ings and decorations students and guests alike find many articles

of interest and rare beauty. Its comfortable furnishings amid

peaceful surroundings afford a homelike atmosphere where the

new cadet readily adapts himself to a wholesome, happy experience,

hiere in an atmosphere of quiet dignity, every student is privileged

to entertain his guests or to spend his leisure moments as governed

by his daily schedule. None of the comforts of the modern home

have been excluded in Wentworth's plan to provide the finest train

ing and quarters available. * (Above) The corner of one of the attractive parlors where cadets receive their guests.

CAMPUS

Nature a n d man have joined forces at

Wentworth to produce a campus of outstand

ing beauty. Magnificent trees, of many vari

eties, blend in perfect harmony with modern,

attractive buildings and spacious grounds. The

Academy is located just at the edge of Lex

ington and covers 52 acres. The front campus

extends over four city blocks and is dotted

with massive elms and glorious flower banks

that provide enchantment and inspiration. The

b a c k campus includes athletic and military

fields and the new stadium. There are eight

thoroughly modern buildings on the campus,

each built for the exact purpose it serves.

They are of brick and stone construction and

are heated by steam and hot water.

Scholastic Building is the nucleus of the scholastic depa r tmen t . This magnificent structure contains one of the most splendid libraries possessed by any institution of this kind. Four completely equipped laboratories provide excellent facilities for the practical study of the sciences. In addition to classrooms for ail classes, it houses the Dean's and Commandant's offices. It is with justifiable pride that Wentworth points to this new achievement in its effort to provide up-to-the-minute methods and scholastic accoutrements.

*The attractive library contains thousands of volumes, providing every necessary supplement to the student's texts and manuals.

* Commercial class rooms are large and well lighted and are equipped with modern business machines. The latest recognized business methods are taught by competent instructors.

DEPARTMEIVT The scholastic department is divided

into two separate and distinct units:

the high school, which offers four years

of preparatory work, and the junior

college, which offers two years of lib

eral arts and science. Each has its own

organization separate from the other. Both divisions

are fully accredited by the North Central Associa

tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an organiza

tion composed of the leading colleges and prepara

tory schools in twenty states. This recognition means

that graduates of either department are eligible to

enter any institution in the United States that receives

students by certification.

It is our aim to see that each cadet masters every

lesson thoroughly. To accomplish this, every student

is taught correct study methods and thoroughly

schooled in correct uses of libraries and laboratories.

Classes are small, averaging from 8 to 15 students,

which permits individual attention. Most of the faculty

members live in the buildings with students. They are

readily accessible for special help. From time to time

a personal study is made of each cadet to determine

his points of weakness and help him overcome them.

A T W E N T W O R T H ^ ^ 1 O TWO days at Wentworth are quite the same, for a widely varied program of schol

astic, military, athletic and other activities is used to keep the interest of the cadets

at high pitch and their appetites for learning well whetted. Furthermore, no two students

have quite the same duties to perform throughout any given day. There is, however, a

definite routine that all cadets follow each day. It is used to instill perfect regularity and

promptness in attendance upon all duties prescribed for one and all cadets alike.

While it requires some adjustments for new students to become accustomed to this rou

tine, any slight hint of monotony is soon lost in the kaleidoscopic whirl of the school year.

To give parents and others a better insight, the following pages have been used to set

forth, pictorially, the day's activities from Reveille to Taps, of a typical Wentworth boy

whom we will designate as Cadet Harlan.

The pictures in this section were tajten nine years ago. However,

since they illustrate life at Wentworth of today, they are still timely.

They are retained because so many of the cadets shown served in

the Armed Forces of their country and so well illustrate the value

of military training as received while at Wentworth.

Since the importance of military preparedness is becoming increas

ingly evident by the changing world situation, the training illustrated

in this picture section has a special significance.

There have been some uniform changes as may be seen by referring

to the section on Wentworth uniforms.

* Harlan—a typical Wentworth cadet.

HERE is Harlan, a typical Wentworth cadet—a fine young Amer

ican—manly, scholarly and upright. His respect for duty and

responsibility has won for him the rank of sergeant. He may have come

from a large city or a very small town—that makes no difference to

the democratic spirit that prevails at Wentworth. He may be from a

wealthy family or a family in meager circumstances—most of his

classmates would never know, nor even be curious, unless he chose

to tell them. But he typifies all the fine qualities of a deserving and

ambitious youth as he goes through the tried and age-proved Went

worth process of becoming a real man, a real asset to himself, his

family and friends, and society as a whole.

Harlan, like all the others, participates in many activities besides

those shown. But let's follow him through a typical day.

• • •

Harlan "Bu tch " Heffe l f lnger, who graduated in the class of 1937

and posed as the model cadet in the view book, served as a Major

in the last war.

His brother, Hugo, another Wentwor th alumnus, also a Major, and

served with distinction with the Rangers.

A r l i e Heffe l f lnger served with the Navy A i r Corps as an Ensign.

* Harlan's first duty Is a thorough,

refreshing wash before breakfast.

' M CAN'T GET 'EM UP," blows the bugler, but he does, and at 6:35 o'clock

another day is under way. Cadet Harlan goes first to the sanitary lavatory or

his floor. A good washup is part of the routine, for a cadet is expected to keep him

self clean at all times. A t 6:50 he goes to a well-prepared breakfast.

After breakfast, rooms must be cleaned. One of the basic aims of our systen

is to form personal habits of order. Each morning hiarlan makes his own bed, put:

his clothes in order and helps his roommate clean the room.

* Harlan makes up his

own bed.

llllli

Strict inspection of quarters is a daily routine. Formal inspec

tion of hiarlan's person, room and equipment occurs on Sunday

morning. A t this time unusual care must be taken in cleaning the

room. Our friend sees that hidden corners are carefully dusted,

chairs polished, and everything put in order. Then he takes care

of his person. There's brass to shine, leather to polish, hair to brush,

and whiskers to be removed. A certain time is allotted for this

preparation and all work must be done within that time. This young

fellow knows that any deficiency in this work receives what is

known in Academy language as a "skin"—which counts against

one's company in color competition.

* Harlan is ready f o r t h e inspector — brass gleaming, shoes shined—room as clean as the proverbial "hound's tooth."

* Here Harlan delves into things scientific. Modern equipment is provided for

all laboratory work.

AT 8 O'CLOCK in the morning, classes convene. Har

lan makes his way to a small class on his schedule

where personal attention is his at any time it is needed.

Our cadet is carefully instructed in the handling of deli

cate scientific equipment. He is not forced to grope

blindly for Information. That which is true of the science

laboratories is equally true in all other classrooms.

Time passes rapidly in the classroom or laboratory

because the work is interesting. The scholastic day is

divided Into two equal parts, with three classes in the

morning and three In the afternoon.

* Our Cadet

goes through

' a course of

calisthenics to

promote grace

and health.

All the cadets shown in the picture were in the Armed Service. The second from the left, Lieutenant Tom Henderson, Jr., of Haynes-ville. La., was killed in the fighting for Munda Airfield.

^^ALISThlENICS play an Important role In the physical education of Cadet Harlan.

No effort is made to Indulge in this or any other exercise In the early morn

ing hours when the body is at Its lowest ebb. All such exercises are taken by our

cadet after a hearty breakfast and morning classes. The exercises are intended to

promote graceful movement as well as better health. The calisthenics used by the

United States Army are followed. They are led by senic cadet officers.

So long as the weather permits, the calisthenics are held in the open, but they

are taken In the large gymnasium, where an entire battalion may take part at the

same time, when rain or cold Is In the air.

* The ten excel

lent tennis courts

are always pop

ular.

Cadet Lieutenant Jack Ramsdell commanding the platoon shown In these two views, participated as an officer in the landing on North Africa. He was decorated with the Silver Star for heroism in action and Purple Heart.

^ \ R I L L is a very formal affair. It is on the drill field that hHarlan learns much of courtesy, discipline

• ^ and alertness. He, with his entire battalion, is thoroughly schooled in good citizenship, taught

the proper respect for superiors and trained in leadership.

Learning to drill a squad is the first training in leadership. Throughout the year squad drill and

competition is a part of the regular military routine. The squad Is the smallest military unit and con

sists of nine men, one of whom is a corporal and another a first class private. All Instruction is con

ducted by cadets under the personal supervision of members of the military faculty.

Although military work takes but one hour each day, the training is intensive and much more

thorough than that found in larger units. Personal attention is given the individual cadet on the

military field as well as in the classroom, and each cadet has an equal chance to advance to import

ant positions in Wentworth's military realm. In the army, the navy and the marine corps Wentworth is

glorified by its alumni who have received their commissions and are distinguishing themselves In official

capacities of these respective branches of service.

Like many other cadets, Harlan finds the extended order drill more

interesting. This drill consists of combat methods. He is taught to make

use of cover, to advance and to fire. No actual firing is done during

this drill, however, for all the ammunition used is dummy material.

Initiative and leadership are required in this work. Situations arising in

the problems furnished by the War Department call for quick think

ing and immediate action.

Here our typical cadet finds extended order drill interesting and instructive.

The Cadet Officer using the field glasses was Captain Woodrow Wylte, U. S. Army, hie participated

in the fight on Bataan, was captured and has been reported as having died in a prison camp.

The cadet about to insert the cartridge in his rifle is Major Milton Moran, U. S, Marine Air Corps.

He has participated in considerable action in the South Pacific.

L O L L O W I N G the nnorning classes • connes lunch time and our cadet is ready to eat. Acadenny nnenus are always varied and pleasing. Meals are carefully planned to suit the needs of all cadets. They are healthful and nutritious and just what active, hard-working boys require. Meal ti.Ties are at 7:00 in the morning, 12:10 and 6:10. This schedule is varied only on Sunday, when dinner becomes a more elaborate meal served at 12:30.

After dinner there is a recreation period during which Harlan and other cadets may do pretty much as they choose. A t this time there is a rush for the cadet post office. Every cadet receives his mail twice daily. The recreation room is also a popular place at this time.

CADET HARLAN attends an interesting, in

formative and Inspirational meeting in the

chapel, immediately before lunch. These meet

ings are conducted by the Academy Chaplain,

b u t a re n o t strictly religious. Travel talks,

health lectures, scientific demonstrations and

short sermons, presented by outstanding speak

ers, are frequently on the program. The serv

ice is opened with a hymn, prayer and respon

sive readings, and closed with the singing of

"Wentworth," the Academy song.

"Pep" meetings, preceding important ath

letic contests, are also held in the chapel. These

are always occasions of great fun. Students and

faculty make rousing speeches. The cadet band

furnishes gay, martial music and everyone antic

ipates the big game on the morrow. Athletic

contests are important recreational events. Every

cadet attends them.

* While a majority of the

faculty members live in the

barracks with cadets, some

live in residences such as this

on the campus.

* Our Cadet receives personal attention from a faculty

member in the library.

^ E R S O N A L attention is not confined to the

classroom nor to the evening study periods.

Harlan and many other cadets seek assistance in

the spacious Academy library. The faculty offi

cer in charge is always ready and willing to help

any student, no matter what his problem. What

ever the subject, the faculty officer is qualified

to give the guidance needed.

Wentworth's library is one of the most import

ant places on the campus. It contains more than

7,500 books on nearly every subject one could

imagine. Reference books include the famous Ox

ford English Dictionary and many sets of encyclo

pedia.

* A I I shined up for

Sunday inspection.

• i v * In winter months our boy turns his attention to basketball and other

indoor sports.

T' RAINING for leadership is important on the football field as well as everywhere else

at Wentworth. More than fifty cadets answer the varsity call each year and large

squads turn out for company teams. All players receive intensive training, both in the art

of the game and in clean sportsmanship.

Football ranks as the number one sport, and the Red Dragon elevens are consistent win

ners. The fine spirit of players and corps Is credited with being a strong determining factor

in every contest.

In the winter months basketball comes Into the spotlight. Again there are the varsity

and company teams and a place for every cadet who desires to play. hHome games are

played in the spacious gymnasium where there are two courts and ample space for

spectators.

Wentworth is a member of the Junior College Interstate conference, an athletic asso

ciation numbering six schools as members. The Wentworth hiigh School teams are mem

bers of the Pony Express Conference of Western Missouri. Almost every major and minor

sports are on the Wentworth program—all played under competent coaches—and every

cadet is required to participate.

* The gymnasium is 220 x 55 feet. It contains two regular

basket ball courts, a large stage, a swimming pool 20 x 60

feet, locker rooms, showers and gymnastic equipment.

• Here our man-in-the-making is ready for his daily plunge in the pool.

T " H E sparkling, crystal-clear water of the swimming pool is inviting

' to cadets the year 'round. The pool is of regulation size (20x60)

and is the scene of frequent water sports and aquatic meets. It is

the purpose to teach every cadet to swim well. The water is warmed

to a healthful temperature and kept pure by efficient filtration and chem

ical treatment.

* (Above) Hi-dee-ho! Harlan and his friends tune in a radio program during the recreation period immediately following the evening meal.

Just before the evening study period

is the favorite tune-in time for Cadet

Harlan and other radio devotees. Permis

sion to have a radio in the room is re

garded a privilege, the abuse of which

causes the student to lose this favor.

After thirty-five minutes of recreation

following the supper hour, evening study

is begun at 7 o'clock. Each cadet retires

to his own room for a two-hour period

of quiet. There is no stuffy, noisy hall in

which cadets are confined. Instead, indi

vidual initiative is encouraged. Faculty of

ficers are in constant attendance through

out the period, giving advice where it is

needed and encouragement at all times.

* The orchestra provides musical diversion both for members of the group and the corps.

* (Below) Perfect study conditions prevail in Harlan's room. (Note the latest type of reading lamp.)

ief descends and another day is ended for our busy

cadet. Sleep . . . sweet, restful sleep.

"T"APS, at which time all lights must be turned

' out and all cadets remain quiet, is sounded

at 10 o'clock. The soft notes of the bugle

call to close the activities of an eventful day and

the peace of slumber envelops healthy young

bodies until another dawn.

The purpose of this book has been to give you an ac

curate, but necessarily inadequate glimpse of the Wentworth

Military Academy and cadet life. In order fully to appreciate

the Academy, it will be necessary for you to visit the campus

in person, see the beautiful grounds and buildings and meet

members of the faculty. The Administration offices are open

the year 'round and your visit will be welcomed at any time.

SUMMER SCHOOL—A military summer school and camp

of 8 weeks duration begins in early June. Activities are

divided equally between scholastic work and recreation. In

struction is on a tutorial basis and nearly any subject may

be taken.

September 12—Today was an example of a Sunday routine, typical of those to follow throughout the year. Included in the busy schedule were room insjiections and the weekly battalion parade. T h e corps looked exceedlingly snappy during the parade, and everyone is expecting an excellently drillea battalion within a few months.

September 13—One of the newly added courses, psychology, has attracted considerable attention from all cadets. V. C.

September 19—Dr. Ovid Sellers, son of Mrs. Sandford Sellers, Sr., has been reported safe in Palestine after a plane crash episode.

September 27—Fifty-one cadets have been selected to be members of the school marching band unit. The complicated snap drill, for which the Wentworth band is famous, has practically been perfected, and cadet members are looking forward to the many forthcoming trips. Wish I could play a horn, and go too.

September 28—Prof. Marvin Edminson, member of the teaching faculty last year, is working towards his Ph. D. degree at Oklahoma A & M college at Stillwater, Oklahoma. He is also teaching a class of 65 Home Economics students, 55 of which are girls. Think I will take up teaching!

October 5—Cadets Bruce Davis, Leland Dorsey, Frederick Glauner, and Arnold Winkleman were awarded the distinction of being admitted to the Honor Society this semester on the basis of last semester's record. Maybe if I start working right away on scholastic, military, athletic, ana disciplinary work, I'll have a chance next semester.

October 6—The college varsity team left the academy today for an eventful trip to Roswell, New Mexico, to meet New Mexico Military Institute for a competitive grid game. Sure wish our boys all of the luck in the world because they certainly will need it against the oncoming team.

October 8—The college debate team, under the direction of Maj. Dallas Buck, has been working out in preparation for forensic tournaments which are scheduled for early dates at Kirksville, Mo., and Winfield, Kas. Maybe, 1 had best start practicing up on my vocal powers of oration.

October 9—Mrs. Westphal, commonly known as the Duchess, of the academy hospital is to be congratulated for the five blue ribbons and the sweepstakes award which she won in the flower and poppy show held in Lexington recently. Didn't know that we had an expert horticulturist in our midst.

October 16—One hundred and twenty-five cadets made the Academy's Sjjecial Distinction and Honor Roll lists for the six weeks grading period ending today. Only hope that I can work enough to bring up my next grading period's grades to make Special Distinction.

October 17—A letter was received by the military department from Phillip Maxwell of "The Chicago Tribune," stating that gold and silver medals will once more be awarded to outstanding cadets in military schools and colleges throughout the country.
